Viv and I have to give you the SAD NEWS THAT HOOPERS WILL BE CLOSING WITH EFFECT FROM Xmas Eve.


Haven't the time to explain the problems of running a profitable pub just now, but you can probaly guess anyway. If you call in, I will be happy to explain a few of the reasons we had to come to this sad decision.


We would love to say our farewells to all the customers and neighbours we have become friends with over the last 6 years, so if you want to catch up with us, we will be HERE FROM Thursday 20th from 6pm, and all weekend from 4pm Fri 21st to Sun. 23rd.


However it is not our style to go out with a wimper, so we are putting one last gig this Friday, which we think will be of interest both to you. It is the annual Xmas bash of the Nunhead Folk Circle at 8.00pm on Friday 21st Dec.


http://nunheadfolkcircle.com/index.html and listen to some of their music on http://nunheadfolkcircle.com/Music.html


Think mistletoe, log fires and mulled wine! Plenty to get you in the Xmas mood!


We will continue to offer the best in micro-brewed ales to the end, with new Selhurst local brewer, Clarence & Fredericks, as well as Redemption and Burton Bridge all available.


There are also some bargains in our foreign bottled beer ranges to be bagged!


We wish everyone a very Happy Christmas, and hopefully, dear God, a more prosperous New Year

So sorry and sad to hear this Jamie, I know how much hard work and imagination you and Viv put into the pub and I've had some lovely times there. It's a great loss to the area, that's for sure.


Always a pleasure and Jason and I will pop in before last orders if we can (little one permitting.


I wish you the best of luck with the next chapter.


Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year to you both

I'm very sad to hear this. Hoopers was easily one of the best pubs in the area and its selection of ales was second to none. Also enjoyed the great entertainment there too. I've thoroughly enjoyed the times I've spent in there over the last six years and will try and pop in for a slurp or two before you close. Best of luck Jamie and Viv for the future and thank you very much for your great hospitality.

There were/are a couple of people in the pipeline with possible business plans for it to continue as a pub, apparently.


But yes they may not be viable, so worst case scenario would be flats - at least it's unlikely to become a betting shop, which has been the fate of many pubs (often prior to then becoming flats, of course .....)

      Vet recommendation

      By tiddles · Posted

      Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent.

      Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
